Re: Suggestions for a fragrance for autumn/winter

georgio armani attitude / code
givenchy play intense
gucci gucci by gucci
if you like mint, cartier roadster.. not very offensive
john varvatos (he has several different.. vintage, artisan black. see which one you like)

I am also currently mulling over a scent whose initial topnotes I despise, but whose lower topnotes, heart and base notes I really think I'll enjoy in colder temps when I don't want something woody........Creed's Orange Spice.

Re: Suggestions for a fragrance for autumn/winter

Some from my collection:

Zirh Corduroy (A cheapo that could be a good workhorse scent through the cold months)
Armani Code
Rochas Man
Trussardi Inside Man
Ted Baker Endurance (I see you list frags in pounds. Hard to find in the States, but wonderful!)

Re: Suggestions for a fragrance for autumn/winter

Within the budget proposed my recommendation is easily Burberry London or London Special Edition. If it is possible to get a split from someone, Odin's 04 Petrana will also fit the bill quite nicely and can even be layered into either London fragrance for a pleasant variation.

Less citrus and freshness, more spice - although all of these rules are quite loose. Creed VIW is coconut and lime, which to my nose is incongruent when you're shivering from the damp cold. Creed BdP is all about being comforted while your exposed hands are holding an umbrella and it's 5C. Chocolate/cocoa scents seem out of place in the summer.

I'd try some marine fragrances like Kenzo Pour Homme (smells like a tropical beach), Caroline Herrera 'Chic' for men, for a little sophistication and the new Marc Jacobs 'Bang' for a delicious woody scent.
